I have the Logitech Squeezebox Boom while a friend of mine has the Pandora Radio by Livio. These sets are quite appropriate for news and talk programs from the likes of NPR, PRI, and BBC. Their audio fidelity is quite acceptable for tabletop radio. Just about any broadcast radio station you'd fancy has an internet presence. I often listen to west coast NPR feeds, for example, since they don't delete as much (if you time it right) for local content/stories. My radio can access my Napster playlists as well as Pandora and Last.FM. My friend's radio is especially configured for the ease of use for the "thumbs up and "thumbs down" for Pandora playlists. I can go to sleep just about any night of the week listening to "Echoes", for example. I have an XM sub and there is supposedly a way to stream their content on the Squeezebox but I haven't played with it yet since I've only had the Box since Xmas.
